A lot of VT fans have a distaste for WVU

based on past incidents; I'd love to be in a conference with you guys again. The Big 10 or SEC might be the best harbor for VT athletics but...

Sooooo...I get the sense things might be coming to a head

Coming to a Head if You Listen to What Greg Flugaur Mostly Insinuates

A lot of Virginia talk in Flugaur”s show this evening

The settlement of the House case (and related cases) is all that's imminent

That's a pretty short time frame re: ESPN**
mancunian • 05/14/24 11:14 AM ET
What happens first: ESPN opt-out, or the start of WWIII?**
MP4VT2004 • 05/14/24 07:03 PM ET
Yes, but not as short as the resolution of the House case.
Will StewartAdmin • 05/14/24 11:16 AM ET
At present......
2hhoop3 • 05/14/24 10:27 AM ET
worst case is VT in the gentleman's conference(wake, duke, bc, etc)**
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/14/24 10:16 AM ET
worst case for VT is stay in smaller ACC with new media payouts below B12**
HokieAl • 05/14/24 10:07 AM ET
Nope, the worst case is for UVA and UNC to go to the SEC
VTCALS72 • 05/14/24 01:22 PM ET
My guess is that smaller ACC would receive a LOT less media money
HokieAl • 05/14/24 01:40 PM ET
Yep, in half if we're lucky. But probably even less.**
HokieNoVA • 05/15/24 07:31 AM ET
I know you guys don't want this
Millpoint • 05/14/24 12:13 PM ET
That's viewed as a loss. We are going to have to ransom UVA into getting a
TDVick • 05/14/24 01:32 PM ET
A conference with WVU would be a good second choice over a "watered-down"
FLKEYSHOKIE • 05/14/24 06:33 PM ET
A lot of schools with great histories, support

A lot of VT fans have a distaste for WVU ◄
mancunian • 05/14/24 12:47 PM ET
WV doesn't get mentioned much
obguthr • 05/14/24 01:51 PM ET
WVU to the SEC makes almost no sense; which is why it doesn't get mentioned**
marcbvtgm • 05/14/24 04:56 PM ET
I think some are too caught up in geography with the SEC as well. There
Big12 guy • 05/14/24 02:12 PM ET
I suspect it is not that many fans anymore b/c we haven't played much
HokieAl • 05/14/24 01:13 PM ET
The WVU horror stories are Real
Sunsetunderground • 05/14/24 02:38 PM ET
I think the Big 12 would also take VT. Short sighted on my end, but
VTFan29 • 05/14/24 12:26 PM ET
maybe a little more revenue for a lot more cost
VTCALS72 • 05/14/24 01:25 PM ET
So, help me understand this. Missouri State just joined Conference USA with
Big12 guy • 05/14/24 01:47 PM ET
How many sports do those schools you mentioned sponsor?
VTCALS72 • 05/14/24 05:13 PM ET
Not short sighted. You would jump to the SEC for more money. For
Big12 guy • 05/14/24 12:32 PM ET
I think that's off the table. **
mancunian • 05/14/24 10:25 AM ET
It could happen
obguthr • 05/14/24 10:44 AM ET
B12 is much, much better than a watered down ACC.
Atlee Hokie • 05/14/24 12:47 PM ET
Really why?
VTCALS72 • 05/14/24 01:27 PM ET
That’s Pathetic

Fun
VPI 1924 • 05/14/24 11:44 AM ET
But VT would only go if we could afford it
HokieAl • 05/14/24 11:02 AM ET
I'm assuming (and I could be wrong)
mancunian • 05/14/24 11:13 AM ET
Either ACC, Big12 or equivalent
